The Pantomime Factor

The Pantomime Factor is a device used by writers of film and TV dramas that has the audience shouting at the screen, when what the hero or heroine is about to do, defies imagination and logic.

An example of The Pantomime Factor.

The heroine on a dark night walks alone into her unlit house which clearly has had a forced entry and fails to see a figure lurking in the dark as they stumble about, never even thinking about turning on a light.
More impressionable observers will be shouting; "Look out behind you!" and similar warnings at the screen, but of course to no avail.

The Vactor Factor

The element of a party that would make it the best time ever. The reason people will come back to your party. The reason people talk about your party for years afterwards.

Also...The black guy at the party (usually a tailgate) that everyone is excited is coming. He's loud, obnoxious, HILARIOUS, and can drink for hours on end.

I thought this weekend was going to suck but I forgot about "The Vactor Factor"! It's goin to be awesome!

Tailgater 1: "I don't know if I can go to the game on Saturday."
Tailgater 2: "The Vactor Factor will be there."
Tailgater 1: "well then I'm DEFINITELY going to make it!"

the PHIL Factor

when one's whacked out persona of sociopathic tendencies comes to life via delusions of grandeur that entails inconspicuous forming of relationships with others w/o the other's consent by all means necessary. A third party can see this with clear conviction of contempt, but the individual that is perpetuating this act of solace and does not relent to the factual discrepancy of reality.

the Phil Factor made u believe that her name was Jessica when in actuality her name is Christina as according to her birth certificate.

The Briggsy Factor

An art talent contest devised by world-famous arty dwarf, Briggsy. Pretentious arty types compete to win the much-coveted prize of a Briggsy Art Apprenticeship. Every week the artist found to be least impressive is eliminated. As the field dwindles down the creations of the wannabes become ever more ludicrous as they battle to outconceptualize each other in their desperate quest to be Briggsy's protege.

Since winning The Briggsy Factor I've lost count of the number of times I've been bummed by the spotty twat.

The Wow Factor

The level of stunning a person is when dressed up, usually based on positive contrast to daily appearance. A very good looking woman who dresses very nicely every day can have a low wow factor as there is no great contrast between how she looks for a special occasion and on a daily basis. A girl who normally dresses in a boyish or sloppy manner however will, when groomed, usually have a high wow factor because of the contrast to how she usually looks

The wow factor is often at play in teen movies where makeovers are involved.

"Did you see Miranda? They got her out of her baggy pants and combat boots and made her wear makeup, hot damn that's really the wow factor at work."
